How to choose vegetables….
Always look at the label: if it starts with a 9 it means organic, 8 means crops have been genetically modified (gmo), 4 means regular farming so no gmo but still sprayed with chemicals.
These pesticides and herbicides are placing a toll on our overall health. We are the lab rats to see what happens. These chemicals are able to pass the blood brain barrier and are entering the brain, increasing anxiety and depression. These chemicals are disrupting our hormones and increasing infertility. These chemicals are placing stress on the digestion system and contributing to leaky gut which is known to contribute to allergies, arthritis and auto immune disorders. The list can go on. Try to avoid contaminated fruits and vegetables the best you can.
Not everyone can buy organic, non-gmo foods. Below is a clean and dirty list. Any fruit and vegetable in the dirty list should be organic as they are heavly sprayed and absorb these toxins easily. The clean list means these fruits and vegetables may be sprayed but are safer because they have a skin or outer shell to protect the produce from chemicals.
Never buy genetically modified foods.
Always wash fruits and vegetables.
Organic vegetables will have a higher mineral concentration than regular farming, especially genetically modified foods. Our soil today is so depleted of its minerals that it takes 8 oranges to get the same mineral content out of one orange as we once did 60 years ago. Most fruits and vegetables are 72% less mineral dense today. This is why choosing organic foods and supplementing with vitamins and minerals is so important. If our body is defficient in one mineral disease can begin.
